FUND SHARES ARE NOT DEPOSITS OR OBLIGATIONS OF, OR INSURED OR GUARANTEED BY,
THE U.S. GOVERNMENT, ANY FINANCIAL INSTITUTION, THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE
CORPORATION, OR ANY OTHER AGENCY, ENTITY OR PERSON. All investments are subject

interest rate fluctuations. High-yield bonds tend to be subject to greater
price swings and default risks than higher rated bonds. Accordingly, investors
should maintain a long-term perspective.
 
FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS:
 
1994 was a special year for The Bond Fund of America. It marked the completion
of the fund's first two decades of investing, a period in which it outpaced
inflation, the broad unmanaged bond market indexes and comparable funds. 1994
also served as a reminder that BFA is a long-term investment and that years in
which the fund loses ground are inevitable. 
 
Over the course of the year, BFA paid monthly dividends totaling $1.05 per
share. If you took your dividends in cash, you received an income return of
7.3%. If you reinvested your dividends, your income return was slightly
higher-7.5%-because of the benefit of compounding. The fund's total
return-taking into account dividends and the change in share value-was a
negative 5.0%. This ended BFA's remarkable string of 19 uninterrupted "up"
years with dividends reinvested.
 
The 89 comparable corporate bond funds tracked by Lipper Analytical Services
declined an average of 4.6% in 1994 with dividends reinvested. Meanwhile, the
unmanaged Lehman Brothers Corporate Bond Index and Salomon Brothers Broad
Investment-Grade Bond Index declined 3.9% and 2.8%, respectively, on a
reinvested basis. 
 
BFA's investment results in 1994 are a reflection of the steep rise in interest
rates during the year. Because bond prices and interest rates move inversely to
one another, the rise in interest rates caused bond prices to decline. The
extent of the decline made 1994 the worst year for the bond market, except for
1967, since widely accepted measures of market results became available in the
mid-1920s. 
 
During the year, we shortened the average maturity of the fund's holdings from
8.5 years to 6.4 years. This was designed to reduce the adverse impact of any
further increases in interest rates. 
 
As we noted in our semi-annual report last summer, a major factor behind higher
short-term interest rates in 1994 was the Federal Reserve's desire to temper
economic growth to keep inflation low. The Fed first moved to raise interest
rates in February of last year, when it increased the federal funds rate-the
rate that banks charge each other for overnight loans-from 3.0% to 3.25%. This
was followed by five additional rate hikes, which brought this short-term rate
to 5.5% by the close of 1994. Longer term interest rates rose as well, partly
in response to the Fed's tighter monetary policy and partly due to concerns
about inflation and the demands for credit posed by strong economic growth. In
February of this year, the Fed again increased the federal funds rate, bringing
it to 6.0%. 
 
Over the long term we believe prospects for the fund are bright. One of the
reasons we are optimistic is that we believe the current cyclical recovery is
overlapping a long-term low-inflation environment. Despite the recent decline
in bond prices, shareholders in the fund have been earning attractive "real,"
or inflation-adjusted, yields. Moreover, if you have been reinvesting your
dividends, you have been acquiring shares at lower prices, thereby enhancing
your prospects for longer term  growth. 
 
In the pages that follow, we take a closer look at the fund's first 20 years
and the lessons they provide about the nature of The Bond Fund of America. As
you will see, for shareholders with perseverance and patience, the fund has
proven to be a rewarding long-term investment through a variety of economic and
market conditions.

A 20-YEAR RETROSPECTIVE
OVER TIME, SHAREHOLDERS IN THE BOND FUND OF AMERICA HAVE SEEN HOW INCOME HAS
BEEN THE DRIVING FORCE IN CREATING ATTRACTIVE RETURNS.
 
When The Bond Fund of America was launched in May of 1974, the idea of a mutual
fund that would actively search for promising investments among fixed-income
securities was still viewed by many as something of a novelty. Bonds were
considered the province of wealthy individuals and institutions who, for the
most part, took a passive approach to fixed-income investing.
 
By the end of 1974, The Bond Fund of America had assets of $33 million and
nearly 2,600 shareholders. At the time, it was one of fewer than two dozen bond
funds that altogether had less than $1 billion in assets. Today BFA itself
holds approximately $5 billion in fixed-income securities on behalf of more
than 260,000 shareholders. It has grown to become one of the oldest, largest
and most successful bond funds in the country.
 
Over the past two decades, long-term shareholders in the fund have seen
recessions, oil shocks, high and low inflation, rising and falling interest
rates, and overhauls of the nation's tax laws too numerous to mention. Yet they
have also seen that The Bond Fund of America has been a rewarding long-term
investment through a variety of  economic and market conditions. They have seen
how relatively stable income from bonds has compounded to create impressive
long-term returns and how over time bonds have provided a good foundation for
their financial programs. They have also learned a few lessons about the value
of patience and the importance of maintaining a long-term perspective. 
 
One lesson brought home to shareholders early on is that bond prices fluctuate.
As interest rates change, the prices of existing bonds adjust to reflect the
new level of prevailing rates. Bond prices move inversely to interest
rates-when rates go down, bond prices go up and vice versa-much like an
old-fashioned seesaw. Bond prices, interest rates and the economy tend to
undergo cyclical fluctuations. The three, in fact, are linked. Interest rates
tend to rise with strong economic growth and decline when business activity
weakens. 
 
Yet fluctuations in bond prices are only one part of the equation. The other
part-the driving part over the long haul-is your income return, which, by
contrast, tends to be much more stable and predictable. Bonds are first and
foremost income-producing investments. What BFA shareholders have found is that
income has, over time, played a dominant role in their overall returns. 
 
To illustrate this point, let us examine three periods: BFA's first 10 years
from 1974 through 1984, during which interest rates often moved higher; BFA's
second 10 years from 1984 through 1994, during which interest rates for the
most part moved lower; and the entire 20-year period, during which interest
rates alternately rose and fell, ending up about where they began.

                                       rising interest rates

Shortly after BFA began operations in May of 1974, Richard Nixon resigned amid
the trauma of Watergate. An Arab oil embargo had created long lines at gas
stations across the country. Rising inflation and the energy shortage were
compounded by the worst recession since the 1930s. Yields on the long-term
bonds in BFA's portfolio began the decade around 8% and ended it in 1984 at
about 11.5%. In between, they rose substantially higher, reaching a peak of 15%
or so in the early '80s. 
 
While BFA had a positive total return each year over this 10-year stretch, its
share price fluctuated sharply at times. Yet those who reinvested their
dividends (as about 80% of BFA shareholders currently do) received an
offsetting benefit from  rising interest rates over the course of the full
10-year period. That is because their dividends acquired additional fund shares
at lower prices-shares that, in effect, earned them higher income returns. This
helped raise their overall income return as well as their total returns over
the 10-year period.
 
The lesson is an important one for long-term investors: Rising interest rates
caused bond prices to fall, which reduced total return over the short term. But
rising interest rates had the opposite impact on total return as the time
period lengthened. That is because reinvesting fund dividends through a period
of higher interest rates gradually increased the income return. Given enough
time, that higher income return helped offset the decline in share value. That,
in large measure, explains how BFA started the period with an 8% distribution
rate but ended up with a 10.2% average annual return. To quote Rousseau:
"Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet."

</TABLE>
 
BFA's second decade stands in marked contrast to its first. Instead of moving
higher over the period, interest rates moved lower as the Federal Reserve
succeeded in bringing down inflation and keeping it low. 
 
BFA's distribution rate at the end of 1984 was 11.7%. At the end of 1994, it
was 8.3%. One might have guessed that this would have been a much better period
to own bonds. It was better, but not by a large amount. Over this 10-year
period, the effect of reinvesting fund dividends in a declining interest rate
environment (at progressively lower yields) was offset by an increase in BFA's
share price brought on by that same decline in interest rates. As a result, BFA
earned a 10.6% total return as interest rates ended the period significantly
lower. 
 
The countervailing impact on the fund's net asset value and its income return
from rising and falling interest rates has influenced BFA's total return, not
just during these two 10-year periods, but during every 10-year period over the
fund's lifetime. In some 10-year spans, rising interest rates caused the fund's
share price to decline, but gradually raised the income return; in others,
falling rates caused the fund's net asset value to rise, but gradually lowered
the fund's income return. Yet as you can see, during both "weak" bond markets
when interest rates moved higher and "strong" bond markets when interest rates
declined, BFA managed to deliver attractive 10-year annualized total returns
that ranged from +10.2% to +13.9%.

</TABLE>
 
The table below shows that over the full 20 years, BFA's distribution rate
ended the period about where it began. How did BFA end up with a 10.4% average
annual compound rate of return when bond yields at the beginning and end of the
period were 8% or so? The fund certainly benefited from a number of timely
adjustments in its maturity mix and good individual bond selection, but the
overriding force was the effect of reinvesting dividends when interest rates
were higher, as they were during a large part of the period. Over BFA's
lifetime, virtually all of the fund's return has come from income-and, for
shareholders who reinvest, the compounded income on that income.

One option for individuals who wanted no interim fluctuations in the value of
their investments would have been to put their money into short-term
instruments such as bank certificates of deposit or Treasury bills where,
unlike the fund, principal is guaranteed. Yet it is important to note that the
tradeoff for this stability of principal was that income returns were much more
volatile and generally lower. The chart to the left displays the consistency
BFA has demonstrated in building annual income. It also shows the rewards of
having more money working for you when distributions are reinvested. 
 
Of course, the income return from an investment in BFA is not fixed. It changes
over time as the bonds in the fund's portfolio are sold or mature and are
replaced by new ones with different rates of interest. But because the fund
invests in bonds with relatively long maturities, that income tends to change
relatively slowly.
 
This is not to say that investors should forgo short-term investments. Indeed,
intelligent investors hold CDs and money market funds as cash reserves to meet
unexpected expenses precisely so they won't have to sell long-term investments
at what may be an inopportune time. Individuals who rely exclusively on
short-term instruments to meet their long-range goals, however, face perhaps
the greatest risk of all: the risk that, after inflation and taxes, instead of
making progress toward their goals, they will fall farther and farther behind. 
 
Still, investors might reasonably ask why they should put up with interim price
fluctuations in bonds in exchange for the potential of, say, a 1% or 2% or 3%
improvement in their returns over time. The reason is that even a small
improvement in returns can over the long term make a big difference. Over 20
years, for example, a $10,000 investment with an average compound return of 10%
a year grows to $67,275, compared with $46,610 at 8%. In this example, the
investor with the 2 percentage point higher annual return ended up with nearly
45% more at the end of the 20-year period.
 
For most shareholders, BFA is part of a diversified portfolio that contains
stocks as well as short-term savings. Indeed, many shareholders made the fund
an integral part of their overall financial plans because of the added
diversification it could provide.
 
Although the stock and bond markets both posted disappointing returns in 1994,
the two have often moved in different directions when stocks declined. As you
can see from the chart at left, BFA has done much better than the stock market
during all four of the major stock market declines of 13% or more over the
fund's lifetime. That diversification is one of the reasons many sophisticated
institutional investors, including corporations and universities, keep a
significant part of their assets in bonds. (Incidentally, there are more than
35,000 institutional investors in BFA, many with substantial accounts. All in
all, they represent about 20% of the fund's assets-some $1 billion.) 
 
Ultimately, perhaps the best way to invest in BFA-or, for that matter, in any
long-term investment-is by making regular investments over time. The table on
the next page shows two scenarios over The Bond Fund of America's 20 1/2-year
lifetime. The first assumes that every calendar year you invested $5,000 in BFA
at the worst possible time-the day its share price hit the highest point of the
year. The second assumes that you put $5,000 into the fund at the best possible
time each year-the day its share price hit its lowest point of the year. 
 
If you had invested at the worst possible time year after year, by December 31,
1994, the $105,000 you had invested would have grown to $325,178. If you had
invested at the best possible time, you would have had $348,631. That
relatively small difference in final results illustrates that it is time-and
not timing-that matters most. 
 
Over the past 20 years, BFA shareholders have seen how bonds can help diversify
their financial programs. They have seen how, over the long haul, income has
been the driving force in creating attractive returns. But in order to earn
those returns, they have had to exhibit patience, perseverance and discipline.
In this sense, the most important ingredient to the success of their
investments in The Bond Fund of America has come from within themselves.
 
This is what would have happened if you had invested $5,000 a year over the
past 21 years on the worst possible day each year-the day BFA's share price
peaked...

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1.  Bond Fund of America (the "fund") is registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 as an open-end, diversified management investment company. 
The following paragraphs summarize the significant accounting policies
consistently followed by the fund in the preparation of its financial
statements:
  Bonds and notes are valued at prices obtained from a bond-pricing service
provided by a major dealer in bonds, when such prices are available; however,
in circumstances where the investment adviser deems it appropriate to do so,
such securities will be valued at the mean of their representative quoted bid
and asked prices or, if such prices are not available, at the mean of such
prices for securities of comparable maturity, quality and type.  Securities
denominated in non-U.S. currencies are generally valued on the basis of bid
quotations.  Equity-type securities are stated at market value based upon
closing sales prices reported on recognized securities exchanges on the last
business day of the period or, for listed securities having no sales reported
and for unlisted securities, upon last-reported bid prices on that date. 
Short-term securities with original or remaining maturities in excess of 60
days, including forward currency contracts, are valued at the mean of their
quoted bid and asked prices.  Short-term securities with 60 days or less to
maturity are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.  The
maturities of variable or floating rate instruments are deemed to be the time
remaining until the next interest rate adjustment date.  Securities for which
market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as
determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee of the Board of Directors.
  As is customary in the mutual fund industry, securities transactions are
accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold.  Realized gains
and losses from securities transactions are reported on an identified cost
basis. Interest income is reported on the accrual basis.  Discounts on
securities purchased are amortized over the life of the respective securities. 
The fund does not amortize premiums on securities purchased.  Dividends are
declared on a daily basis after determination of the fund's net asset value and
are paid to shareholders on a monthly basis.
  
  Investment securities, including forward currency contracts, denominated in
non-U.S. currencies are recorded in the financial statements after translation
into U.S. dollars utilizing rates of exchange on the last business day of the
year.  Interest income from such investments is calculated using the
approximate exchange rate as accrued or when received.  Purchases and sales of
investment securities and interest income are calculated using the approximate
exchange rate as accrued.  The fund does not identify the portion of each
amount shown in the fund's Statement of Operations under the caption "Realized
Loss and Unrealized Depreciation on Investments" that arises from changes in
non-U.S. currency exchange rates.  
 Pursuant to the custodian agreement, the fund receives credit against its
custodian fee for imputed interest on certain balances with the with the
custodian bank.  The custodian fee of $293,000 includes $111,000 that was paid
by credits rather than in cash.
2.  It is the fund's policy to continue to comply with the requirements of the
Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to
distribute all of its net taxable income, including any net realized gain on
investments, to its shareholders.  Therefore, no federal income tax provision
is required.
  
  As of December 31, 1994, net unrealized depreciation on investments,
excluding forward currency contracts, for book and federal income tax purposes
aggregated $348,278,000, of which $29,860,000 related to appreciated securities
and $378,138,000 related to depreciated securities.  During the year ended
December 31, 1994, the fund realized, on a tax basis, a net capital loss of
$36,090,000 on securities transactions.  The fund has available at December 31,
1994, a net capital loss carryforward totaling $23,841,000 which may be used to
offset capital gains realized during subsequent years through 2002 and thereby
relieve the fund and its shareholders of any federal income tax liability with
respect to capital gains that are so offset.  It is the intention of the fund
not to make distributions from capital gains while there is a capital loss
carryforward.  The cost of portfolio securities, excluding foreign currency
contracts, for book and federal income tax purposes was $5,210,323,000 at
December 31, 1994.
 
3.  The fee of $18,755,0000 for management services was paid pursuant to an
agreement with Capital Research and Management Company (CRMC), with which
certain officers and Directors of the fund are affiliated.  The Investment
Advisory and Service Agreement provides for monthly fees, accrued daily, based
on an annual rate of 0.30% of the first $60 million of average net assets;
0.21% of such assets in excess of $60 million but not exceeding $1 billion;
0.18% of such assets in excess of $1 billion but not exceeding $3 billion; and
0.16% of such assets in excess of $3 billion ("asset-based fee"); plus 3.00% on
the first $450,000 of the fund's monthly gross investment income, plus 2.25% of
such income in excess of $450,000  ("income-based fee").  
  Pursuant to a Plan of Distribution, the fund may expend up to 0.25% of its
average net assets annually for any activities primarily intended to result in
sales of fund shares, provided the categories of expenses for which
reimbursement is made are approved by the fund's Board of Directors.  Fund
expenses under the Plan include payments to dealers to compensate them for
their selling and servicing efforts.  During the year ended December 31, 1994,
distribution expenses under the Plan were $11,347,000.  As of December 31,
1994, accrued and unpaid distribution expenses were $829,000.
  American Funds Service Company (AFS), the transfer agent for the fund, was
paid a fee of $3,751,000.  American Funds Distributors, Inc. (AFD), the
principal underwriter of the fund's shares, received $4,562,000 (after
allowances to dealers) as its portion of the sales charges paid by purchasers
of the fund's shares.  Such sales charges are not an expense of the fund and,
hence, are not reflected in the accompanying statement of operations. 
  CRMC is owned by The Capital Group, Inc.  AFS and AFD are both wholly owned
subsidiaries of CRMC.  Certain of the Directors and officers of the fund are or
may be considered to be affiliated with CRMC, AFS and AFD.  No affiliated
officers, directors or employees of CRMC, AFS and AFD received any remuneration
directly from the fund.
4.  As of December 31, 1994, accumulated undistributed net realized loss on
investments was $35,644,000 and paid-in capital was $4,926,606,000.
  The fund made purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding
short-term securities, of $2,822,901,000 and $2,634,896,000, respectively,
during the year ended December 31, 1994.
    The fund purchases forward currency contracts in anticipation of, or to
protect itself against, fluctuations in exchange rates.  The contracts are
recorded at market value and reflect the extent of the fund's involvement in
these financial instruments.  Risks may arise upon entering these contracts
from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their
contracts and from the possible movements in foreign exchange rates and
securities values underlying these instruments.  The fund reclassified
$7,850,000 from undistributed net realized gains to undistributed net
investment income for the year ended December 31, 1994.  At December 31, 1994,
the fund had outstanding forward currency contracts to sell non-U.S. currencies

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
The Bond Fund of America, Inc.:
 We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the investment portfolio, of The Bond Fund of America, Inc., as of
December 31, 1994, and the related statement of operations for the year then
ended, the statement of changes in net assets for the two years then ended, and
the per-share data and ratios for each of the five years in the period then
ended.  These financial statements and the per-share data and ratios are the
responsibility of the Fund's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements and the per-share data and ratios based
on our audits.
 We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and
per-share data and ratios are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements.  Our procedures included confirmation of securities
owned at December 31, 1994 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. 
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
 In our opinion, the financial statements and per-share data and ratios
referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of The Bond Fund of America, Inc., at December 31, 1994, the results
of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the per-share data and
ratios for the respective stated years, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
